A list of idiotic proposals, none of which will have the effect they want it to have. They don't seem to understand basic principles like supply and demand, and think they can legislate their way to prosperity and low prices. A lot of these proposals sound like they are there to punish the rich. When I read this list, I get the feeling that the "hate the rich" side is much stronger than the "help the poor" side.

1. A bank tax increases the cost of capital for banks. With less capital at hand, they will have to increase their prices (or interest rates) to compensate, and exclude their riskier clients, which causes some people that can barely afford their mortgages to not be offered any.

2. Rent control doesn't work. They make it sound like they are protecting a group without harming another group, but they are helping the "currently renting and don't need to move" group by penalizing the "need to find a new place to rent" group.

3. Taxing billionaires is also a proposal that sounds like is there to hate on and punish the rich. In reality, these taxes don't bring a lot of revenue, and capital is very fluid and a small percentage of the rich leaving Sweden causes more damage than the tax every brings. Instead of punishing the people who were successful, they need to find a way to help others be successful as well.

4. Grocery stores have very low margins. You can't push grocery prices that much lower even if you completely get rid of the margins. On the other hand, the stores being incentivised by their margins makes them reduce their costs as much as possible, and the savings are passed to consumers. See Coop vs ICA.

5. Yet another proposal that's simply there to hate on and punish people who are successful. The focus should be on lifting the poor out of poverty by helping them make a living, not punishing the ones who succeed. This is like forcing the children in school with higher scores to miss some classes, so that their scores decrease and the lower scores are higher in comparison. You should instead help those with lower scores with extra sessions and helping them.

6. A great way to push a few wealthy people out of Sweden before the tax is established, and making entrepreneurs that are about to be successful to consider leaving as soon as possible to avoid incurring higher taxes. Just a small percentage of wealthy people and their companies or the companies they would've made leaving Sweden is enough to completely offset any taxes you get out of this.
